    Unseize an engine

    lol... you know the most expensive bike in the world is a "free" one. ;) If its an iron bore motor... some low viscosity motor oil should be enough for it to spin free poured in the spark plug hole. Pull the side covers where the crank is. Should be a large bolt you can turn with a...

    clip in or flat

    hehe... when I showed up at Mountain Creek and wanted to use my cross country spds... the pro shop kinda looked at me funny. It helped when I had to pedal up some back hills and kept my feet from coming off in the rock gardens... but I don't think Ill be using them for DH rides anymore. :D...

    Full suspension on a trainer

    That thing is a grand? Hmmm... there are a couple different options besides that one. I use a roller trainer with a spare set of cheap 29er wheels/tires. I have less than $500 in it total. I dont change the suspension settings on my MTB. I had a fixed trainer with adjustable...

    29er Hard Tail Build Suggestions.....

    with a lefty no less. Last race I was at... one of my fellow clydesdale (over 200lbs) competitors had to be airlifted after turning a F29 3 into 3 different pieces only held together by brake/gear cables. My 280lb riding partner has lunched a couple sets of wheel hubs & cranks on his...

    2 Button Head Bolts Needed for brakes

    I would try ACE before HD or lowes. True to advertising... they is the place for odd metric bolts.

    converting to 1x9

    I did this conversion on my cannondale... on the cheap by reusing the stock middle ring. The stock 3 ring is ramped so it would sling with the chain over rough terrain. I eventually put a "clutch" derailluer and a proper 1x chain ring and guess what??? No sling. I also went to 1x10...

    First ticket in 18 Years

    I noticed the signage for that in MD back in June. Was it from a vehicle or a stationary cam? I have a friend locally that put a fresnel lense on his license plate and has been disobeying traffic cams for months. Of course there is only 1 tag on FL vehicles.

    Mountain Creek Opening Day is 5/4 !!

    Some helpful hints about rentals at Mountain Creek. -Given the bikes are used pretty hard... prepare to pay for at least a derailleur or a mount. My group broke 2. Im suprised they used long cage units on these bikes given the terrain. Thankfully its just sram x5 garbage that's cheap and...

    Mountain Creek Opening Day is 5/4 !!

    EWR gave me a smidge of trouble. Unpacked my whole carry on case looking for "screws" and "bolts" :rolleyes: Had to explain what they were... and they were still confused. The only redeeming part was the hilarous TSA agent that gave instructions with a comedic demeanor ahead of the...
